[OLPC library] [IAEP] Fixing activities documentation for the new UI

[Holt]

Caryl Bigenho, Christoph Derndorfer, I & others have been laying 
groundwork since Oct/SF but as we all know this is Hell^h^h^h^hGod's 
thankless work :)

Everyone who can pitch in taking screenshots of critical/latest 
Activities is an absolute hero, particularly for these Activities 
included in Release 11.3.0?

Update our manual-refresh's wiki here please if so, no matter how you 
choose to help!
